The physicist Richard Feynman once explained where fire comes from. And the light and heat that's coming out, that's the light and heat of the sun that went in. So it's sort of stored sun that's coming out when you burn a a log. The wildfires that hit Los Angeles last year burned down the house where Feynman and his family lived in Altadina. It was near the Caltech campus where
He had taught for decades. Fire also destroyed Zorthian Ranch up in the hills where Feynman loved to spend time. Those losses are regrettable, but they were just property. Feynman left a mark on the world that runs much deeper than mere property. In 2024, we made a three-part series called The Curious, Brilliant, Vanishing, Mr.
Feynman, and I thought now might be a good time to replay that series for you. Today, part one. The curious, Mr. Feynman. I hope you enjoy.
